The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors, as well as interested observers.
Welcome back! Since last week’s digest, I published an investor profile with AAIC’s Nobuhiko Ichiyama. Based on your feedback, we’ll be featuring more insights from practitioners going forward, both in interview format as well as the previous Thought Circle format — so some of you may receive a mail from me. Thanks in advance for your participation. 🙏 Thanks also in advance for sharing today’s digest — a lot of effort went into this one.
If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll (generally) receive 2 weekly Afridigest emails: the weekly digest (every Monday) and an original essay/article (generally on Saturdays). For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
